How much drive space should I allocate for Ubuntu?

Is 100 GB enough for Ubuntu?
It depends on what you plan on doing with this, But I have found that you will need at least 10GB for a basic Ubuntu install + a few user installed programs.

Does boot partition need separate?
In general a boot “partition” is not necessary – and wasn’t needed until UEFI dictated the use of proprietary file systems for initial kernel load. Some people liked having a stand alone system to start first – and this was what was in the first root system of Unix, and similar for nearly all the other systems.
